I'm looking into a 629 with a 5" right now for about $600 used, near new condition, is it a good buy?

I just bought a 686 performance center with the 2.5" barrel. And I love it. It has a great trigger and can shoot magnums all day at the range. I carry it in my bianchi Holster on a 2 1/2" belt. I have no problem concealing it and it shoots amazing. It's my avatar picture. Working on posting it here.

From experienced 44 mag shooters, is there a noticeable difference in recoil between 3", 4", and 5" barrels?

It would be a universal gun. Everything but hunting. I have an option to purchase a 686+ PC 2.5", a 686+ 3", or an 66-2 3". And I do shoot a healthy diet of warmer 357 magnums. I'm not sure if the 3" with full ejector and slightly longer radius is better than a 2.5" PC gun-which does cost a bit...

Any body have a preference of a performance center gun vs non PC or TALO

Just curious what everybody thinks the best 357 carry revolver is, not just best conceal but overall

Thanks everyone for the input, right now I'm leaning towards a 5" 629 classic. But not entirely sold. Would love to get my hands on a 629 Horton like b_san but who knows. I'll let u know what I pick.

Any input on the 629 V comp?

Tug700. Thanks ! I like the looks of the classic with the full lug as well. That's why I was torn between the classic and the competitor because the 629 competitor is discontinued now and it looks nice and I think it'd be an investment not to mention all the performance center tweaks

ISCS Yoda, I greatly appreciate your input every little bit helps. I have heard a lot of people say that they love or hate 44s. Personally my 686 4 inch is my baby and I carry it and target shoot and what not. As for the handgun hunting I understand what you mean.

Ccjcc81 that's a nice looking gun I'd obsess over that too, maybe that will be a later purchase after a longer barreled 44

Thanks for the advice, it would be mostly for carry when I go hunting and target shooting. I was also considering handgun hunting in the future as well. And it could be used for home defense as well. I'm not sure how I fee about a 44 mag in a 3" because of recoil. I can manage a hot 44 mag out...

Hello all, I am new to the forum as a member but I have used it to get perspectives on which guns I should buy. And once again I am in need of your expertise. I am interested in purchasing a 44 magnum to add to my collection of 38 specials and 357 mags. I am torn between a 629 classic or a 629...
